How to dry tobacco? Shout out to tiltjlp

Tim, another trick to try if you're having trouble keeping the pipe lit, and the draw seems a bit too tight is to use the pick or spike of your pipe tool to poke a few air holes into your tobacco. I don't need to do it that often, but it can save a bowl that gets packed too firmly.

might a pack that is too light be the cause of my troubles?

Yes Timmay it very well could be!

Yes Tim, packing probably causes the vast majority of problems. A good rule of thumb for newer smokers is to do everything Less than they think they should, except, IMNSHO, drying their tobacco.
